Marian Baker's Birth Mother, Mrs. Helen B. Soule Baker Britcher


Marion Louise Baker was the child of Walter M. Baker and Helen B. Soule, of Perry County, PA.
She had one older brother, Ross Dalton Baker.
Both children would spend their childhoods with maternal aunts and their families, Ross being legally adopted eventually. Marian couldn't have been any more a daughter to Aunt Allie and Uncle Jack with a piece of paper saying it was so. She was their daughter and they loved her as one of their own. Losing Marian in the way that they did was horrific for the O'Donels, but their faith bolstered them.
I've come to learn that the family from which Marian came is made of very strong stuff. They are a family of love, loyalty and perseverance. And above all else, love for one another.
The story of Marian Louise Baker begins with her roots.
